You don't need any comercial product, as this partition is empty, all you
need to do is:
use fdisk to delete this partision (its an extanded partition on a logical
one)
and then use you linux setup or linux fdisk to set up 2 (or more) partisions
in the (now) empty (un partitioned) space to set up atleast:
1. native linux partision
2. linux swap partition (use  about 50MB if its a home system)

I hope I helped, Nitzan.
